Christmas morning I made a big breakfast for all of us...cinnamon rolls, bacon, sausage, and the hit of the morning- hash brown casserole. I have been trying to add to my recipes recently and came across the recipe for some Cracker Barrel style hash brown casserole on this website. It was so tasty I thought I would share it with you.
Cracker Barrel Style Hash Brown Casserole
1 hour total time - 15 minutes prep time
Serves 10-12 ( I halved the recipe and fed all 6 of us with good sized portions)
2 pounds of frozen hash browns
1/2 cup of butter or margarine, melted
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can of cream of chicken soup
2 cups of sour cream (I used reduced fat and it turned out fine)
1/2 cup onion, peeled and chopped
2 cups of cheddar cheese (again, I used 2% and it turned out fine)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11x14 (I used 9X13, it was fine) baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Mix the above ingredients together and then spoon into the prepared dish. Bake for 45 minutes or until brown on top.
This recipe was so easy to make and tasted really good. And while not healthy by any means, the substitutions of lower fat ingredients (sour cream and cheese) helped make it a but more healthy and did not compromise the dish at all, in my opinion.
This dish would be perfect for a lazy weekend morning or for your next brunch gathering. You definitely will not have any leftovers. Enjoy!

this does sound yummy... I'll have to try it sometime. The only thing I would change/ add is to put some cut up bacon in it too. I mean, it really needs something fatty and unhealthy to counteract all the healthy ingredients :)
oh wow-- that seriously looks and sounds good!
This looks really great! My husband would go ga-ga over this one.
To answer the question (and thank you for the wonderful compliment, btw!) you left on my blog, I've been cooking since I was in high school -- it takes alot of practice! I'm interested in new flavors and textures and techniques and things, so I'm always trying to experiment with new stuff. The best inspiration is probably when you go out to restaurants (that aren't like, Applebees) and see what restaurant chefs are doing, then try to recreate it on your own.
There are lots of food blogs out there, too -- check out the Nest's What's Cooking board and you'll find a ton of gals on there with helpful advice and good blogs.
